Her DVDs are designed to let you travel visually with her as she explains her thoughts and choices.

Their DVDs that demonstrate the whole painting process from composing their subject and the decision processes that separate the painting from simply a copy of their photographic reference. They allow you to see the whole picture:- thought, subject, drawing, colour choice and the application process chosen by the artist as it is applied to a specific painting.
Their DVD no.1 shows clearly that different mediums and different artists don't produce a carbon copy of a subject, even if they both use the same reference material gathered on a day out together on the Mornington Peninsula. This is the cornerstone of their series. Watching the two artists in their respective mediums we learn the basic path as well as the ever-present artists choice. Watch and work with the artists decisions as they paint. (see image at top of page)

Video notes PDU No. 8
Yupo offers exciting possibilities to watercolour or acrylic artists. Watch the unpredictability of letting the richly pigmented watercolour merge. Then see ways to manipulate it. After this the surface can be reclaimed where more detailed or richer colours help define the subjects of the painting.This is an inspiring combination of freedom and possibility of control.
